  1. escaping an apostrophe in tootip

    coolegg posted a topic in XML Issue

    This xml gives a "Invalid XML Data" error because of the apostrophe. Is there a way to properly escape an apostrophe in a tooltip? Thanks in advance for any help. - Andrew
  2. Thanks Rahul, I had forgotten about annotations. I still think having Captions and possibly SubCaptions too consistently for all charts would be useful for uniformity. But maybe there is a good reason to not do so. Thanks for the help. - Andrew
  3. I'm not sure why some FusionWidgets have no caption and subcaption capabilities. Other than spark charts, every type of chart can need a title in one situation or another. I want to put 2 linear guages beside a bar chart and a pie chart, and it's going to look awfully awkward with no captions over the two linear guages explaining what they represent.

  4. alpha transparency for the area of a 3D Combi Chart

    coolegg replied to coolegg's topic in XML Issue

    Okay. Thanks anyway Rahul.
  5. Is there a way to set a partial transparency on the Area plot of a 3D combi chart? The plotFillAlph attribute which worlks on 2D charts doesn't seem to work on the 3D combi chart. Can I do it with Styles? I want to make the blue Area portion of this chart below semi-tranparent so the user can see the Columns behind it more clearly. Any suggestions other than making it a Line instead of an Area? Thanks in advance for any help.
  6. Regarding the advanced example given in the document section called "FusionCharts and Javascript" (pasted below), is it possible to change it so that on a checkbox click the chart changes type in addition to the data, so for example from MSColumn3D.swf to MSLine.swf? I want to be able to offer to my users a table of data and then radio buttons so they can select which data they want to see charted (in a single charting area) but different data would require a different chart. Can I do this using only JS or would this require AJAX? <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>FusionCharts - Client Side Chart Plotting</TITLE> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript" SRC="../../FusionCharts/FusionCharts.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> //In this example, we'll show you how to plot and update charts on the //client side.

  7. Example (Code) for Charts using AJAX

    coolegg replied to luftikus143's topic in General usage

    Oh. Interesting. Okay, I need to educate myself some more (read more of the documentation). I'll come back and post the additional information you suggested if I can't figure it out. Thanks for the reply Sudipto - very helpful. - Andrew

  8. Example (Code) for Charts using AJAX

    coolegg replied to luftikus143's topic in General usage

    I wish there was simpler example of AJAX integration with FusionCharts. I am in the same boat as the original poster, I am not a professional web developer. An example using AJAX and PHP such as where a user simply clicks on one of three text links and one of three corresponding charts is rendered into a chart container without the page refreshing would be very helpful as a very basic but highly useful example of AJAX, PHP and FusionCharts. I can't use JS-only because eventually I want to have far more than 3 possible charts, so I need to generate the FusionCharts XML dynamically. I just can't seem to put it all together: AJAX, PHP and FusionCharts. Looking at ASP examples is like looking at Mandarin to me. If anyone happens to have a simpler example of AJAX, PHP and FusionCharts in action I would much appreciate it.

  9. Reverse tick values

    Thanks Pallav. - Andrew

  10. Reverse tick values

    coolegg replied to gwizzla's topic in Using FusionWidgets XT

    Hi Pallav, Sorry for the long time in replying. I am using the Horizontal Linear Guage. - Andrew
  11. Is there way through FusionCharts to display a tooltip when hovering over the entire chart? Alternatively, can anyone suggest a way to do it outside of FusionCharts? I tried to apply a 3rd party JS tooltip to the div element containing the chart but it didn't work.

  12. Reverse tick values

    coolegg replied to gwizzla's topic in Using FusionWidgets XT

    I am having a similar problem. I am trying to create a small "ranking gauge" where the best ranks (low numbers) are on the right side of the gauge and the lesser ranks (higher numbers) are on the left side. In my case I am not displaying tick values, but I am displaying a pointer and want to display it's value (it's "rank"). The problem with the "hidden scale" solution above is that there does not appear to be a way to override the display value of the pointer. I can override the tooltip value, but not the actual display value of the pointer. My suggestion for future versions of FusionGadgets is to allow it to use scales that go from higher to lower, left to right by simply allowing XML like: An alternative suggestion is to have a way of overriding the display value of the pointer.In the meantime, any suggestions for a workaround for me? - Andrew
  13. Never mind - I've discovered Annotations.
  14. Is there a way to add a label to a colorRange to indicate to the user what the colorRange represents? Thanks in advance for any help.
